No we should not make the aliases unique, the reason

useful is because they are _not_ unique.
Add versioning to labels, that is the only real solution.
Following this thread for a while, I still have no idea what this
solution is. Could you give an example of how the #property function in
Wikitext will look for this proposal?
There are books on the topic, and also some dr thesis. I don't think
we should create anything ad hoc for this. Go for a proven solution.
Citation needed ;-)

I agree too.
Also note that property IDs are language-neutral, unlike english names of
templates, magic words, etc.
As I said: if there is broad conseus to only use P-numbers to refer to
properties, fine with me (note however that Lydia disagrees, and it's her
decision). I like the idea of having the option of accessing properties via
localized names, but if there is no demand for this possibility, and it's a pain
to implement, I won't complain about dropping support for that.
But *if* we allow access to properties via localized unique labels (as we
currently do), then we really *should* allow the same via unique aliases, so
property labels can be chanegd without breaking stuff.
